Ingredients

• 1 pound asparagus
• 8 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Rinse the asparagus under cold water and trim the woody ends. Cut the asparagus spears into 2-inch pieces.

Step 3

Wipe the shiitake mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel, remove the stems, and slice the caps into thick pieces.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the asparagus and shiitake mushrooms. Drizzle with olive oil, add the minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss until everything is evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the vegetables are not overcrowded for even roasting.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the asparagus is tender and the mushrooms are golden and slightly crisp on the edges.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side dish or atop rice, quinoa, or pasta for a complete meal.
